Sometimes I remember how fucking funny "Rampage" is as an episode. Like "Payback", the season one finale, has us all geared up for a big fight between Rex and Van Kleiss (I think the term Rex used was "nanite war", pretty hypey way to refer to it) and then we get "Rampage". On a side note, having ramifications for "Payback" in the form of Rex having to crash on his boyfriend's couch is cool. Sort of a neat little way to convey how bad that attack was.

Anyway, we're all geared up for a nanite war, we got some exposition and stuff, and then Van Kleiss just. Shows up. He's here to steal Providence's new power core. On any other day, this would be a bit out of character for him. He's usually pretty goal-focused. He has what he's trying to get to further his evil plans and if he gets to settle an old score? Even better! For him, at least.

The reason I say that this would normally be out of character is that he does not in any way shape or form NEED Providence's new power core. Whatever he does to get his money, he has it and he has a lot of it. Of course it seems like very little goes to the cause of not making his country terrible, because he's a dick, but the point is if he needed a power core he could ABSOLUTELY just buy one. He could probably buy a better one, in fact. He might have a better power core already that's still functioning. He is doing this because he is a petty bitch.

Dude was salty af about not getting to destroy Providence, found out that they had a new power core, and decided to take his salt and rub it in Providence's almost-getting-destroyed-wound by stealing it. And then he turned Rex's boyfriend into an EVO just for shits and giggles, and spent the entire episode just getting the shit kicked out of him (except for that one scene where he's fucking creepy) by getting hit by forklifts and trains and a super fun fight with Rex's new build and soon-to-be unEVO'd boyfriend. AND HE STILL WINS, even though Rex beat the shit out of him and cured Noah, BECAUSE HE GOT THE POWER CORE.

It dashes your expectations in the funniest way possible and the writing still makes it feel completely in character, even though VK has never pulled shit like this before and never will again. And it is my favourite episode, mostly because I get to watch Van Kleiss get hit by a train. He should do that more often.

My thoughts on Way after three episodes can be summed up by:

He "loves" Babe so much that he's out here messing with his mind and causing him to lose races. And, if the preview is to be trusted, he learned nothing from Babe losing in this episode and is gonna keep up the mind fuckery and then he's gonna crash. He's doing all this, possibly has been for 10 years, and Babe still doesn't want him. Give it up Deelisish!

Can his future man show up like now? Can he get some dick? Cause he needs some dick and it's never gonna be from Babe. lol

My favorite moments from my lesbian™️ professional life:

1- That time I got to tell a nun that until she was ready to behave more maturely we would not be having a conversation

2- The terrified look on my well-meaning boss's face when I said "Are you aware that one of the signs in the front hall has the word faggot?"

Saw a post and just want to say: yeah ‘carbon offsets’ are usually bullshit. Sure some smaller land owners might actually be planting diverse native trees in proportion* to their carbon emissions. But as someone who’s worked with The Big Ones? Absolutely horseshit.

8/10 times they find a landowner with a crappy high graded beech-birch thicket and say to the owner: ‘Hey. We’ll pay you to not cut these trees you weren’t planning on/won’t be able to cut for a profit for the next 20-40 years anyway, and you’ll get a kickback.’ Ofc the owner says yes and the Big One can pat themselves on the back and show their stockholders ‘see we’re sooooo interested in reducing our carbon footprint’ when they’re straight up Doing Nothing.

When a Big One does engage in actual tree planting it is always a monoculture. There is not an economically viable way to plant the number of trees needed to proportionally offset their emissions* without it being a thoughtless monoculture without regard for site specificity and seedling survival rates.

How about instead of doing fuck all or wasting time and resources planting monocultures these big companies actually reduce their emissions instead of using their near infinite well of wealth to increase their emissions because they can always buy more crappy stands or pay a little more to plantation owners?

*Fun fact: we are barely at the cusp of carbon research being able to answer the long term + actual potential of carbon storage of different stands based on their age and species composition. We know that younger stands grow faster and therefore capture carbon at an increased rate compared to older stands. Realistically, a large older stand will capture comparative levels of carbon to a small younger stand. You just did a huge clear cut? Congrats that’s now a massive carbon sink you can get paid to ignore it the way you would be anyway for the next 50-60 years. Unsurprisingly this does information does not incentivize the conservation of old growth stands, because the most Carbon Efficient thing to do would be to cut all the old growth for timber (preserving it from decomposition and releasing carbon in most cases) and let new, young, fast growing forests replace them. Who cares about ecological nuance? We’re storing more carbon this way!

“Good evening. My name is Miss Scarlet, I believe you are... an associate of my father’s.” “He said there’d be food.” “Yes, I cooked a smoked ham this afternoon. I’ll cut you a slice.” -- Dear William, I’m happy to hear things are going well for you in New York. It’s been an interesting week here. But, on balance a good one.

when are people going to realize that "credit to the artist/photographer ❤️" doesn't do shit. giving credit is acknowledging that a person made something or contributed to it; you can't acknowledge "someone, I don't know who though". this is not acknowledging, this is the OPPOSITE of acknowledging. if you repost someone's work, the BARE MINIMUM is to state the name of the artist as visibly as it's possible. and if you don't, get smashed with a rock i swear to god it's 2024

Being a college student is just being spammed by loan companies telling you that “ohhh you’re so special, you’re just a special little boy,,, you’ve done what few in the past have ever been able to accomplish,,, you qualify for a student loan,,, please let us give you a loan,,,, please put yourself in debt for us,,,, URGENT: TAKE OUT A STUDENT LOAN URGENT: LET US INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT URGENT: IF YOU DON’T TAKE OUT THIS LOAN I’LL FUCKING KILL YOUR FAMILY URGENT: FOR A LIMITED TIME YOU CAN TAKE OUT A LOAN WITH A 24% INTEREST RATE INSTEAD OF THE USUAL 25%

Random ST question of the day: Do y’all think we’ve scene the last of Cerebro like was it just a macguffin for season 3? Or like can it come back in season 5 in some way? Because if it’s really that strong is it possible it can transmit signals to the UD???
